It takes all types to make this world go 'round. I, personally, cannot go in June. Although TN is the perfect ride/spot for me, my kids are in school and I cannot (do not want to) be gone.
No problem with the early announcement, the spot, or really anything else sans the month change. In July I could have gone. June, I cannot.

Somebody missed Bloomsburg, obviously.
I was going to hit Salt Lake City on my way back from Alaska last July, but my son was getting ready to deploy so I decided to head to Colorado Springs and see him that week instead.
So, I missed it... Did they have any flaming cars in SLC?
-MTS
Never thought about how much heat those cars would push out... until I got bbq'ed that evening. And I was sitting up top!
Yes, Bloomsburg was oppressively hot. Rally just happened to coincide with a major east coast heat wave.
I'll take our oven like heat over the Eastern's sauna conditions any day of the week.

How about Duluth 2020? Always cool along Lake Superior.

Yeah .... where to eat in Duluth? I am heading there from Des Moines and plan to spend a day browsing Aerostich, Duluth Trading (yeah I know they are not based there) and what ever else I can find. But some good food stops would be great.

Mpls Star Tribune Taste Section Today 6/28/18
16 restaurants that should be on everyone's Duluth dining itineraries
A & Dubs
An honest-to-goodness drive-in (a former A & W, which explains the name), carhops and all. Burgers, hot dogs, deep-fried delights, soft-serve ice cream and fabulous, vanilla-laced housemade root beer, all at family-friendly prices.
3131 W. 3rd St., Duluth, 1-218-624-0198
At Sara’s Table Chester Creek Cafe
Home of Duluth’s most irresistible pancakes. At lunch and dinner, chef Jillian Forte takes a global approach (paella, bibimbap, Thai-style tofu curry), and baker Diane Bailey fills her counter with memorable pies and other temptations.
1902 E. 8th St., Duluth, 1-218-724-6811, astccc.net
Burrito Union
The house specialty is served in two sizes (both enormous) and prices (both affordable). The menu also features other traditional Tex-Mex fare, great beer (from Fitger’s) and an inexpensive weekend brunch.
1332 E. 4th St., Duluth, 1-218-728-4414, burritounion.com
Canal Park Brewing Co.
This contemporary brewpub has a great-looking setting — including what is arguably the city’s most pleasant patio — a long list of house-brewed ales, chipper service and an even longer roster of crowd-pleasing, beer-friendly fare.
300 Canal Park Dr., Duluth, 1-218-464-4790, canalparkbrewery.com
Duluth’s Best Bread
Co-owner Michael Lillegard is a superb baker, turning out admirable croissants and pain au chocolat and cinnamon rolls and an impressive twist on the Pop-Tart. The utilitarian shop keeps limited hours (6 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday through Saturday). Starting July 7, Lillegard and brother/business partner Robert Lillegard will launch a Friday-through-Sunday breakfast pop-up (7:30 to 11 a.m.) at Canal Park’s historic Endion Station (200 Lake Place Dr., Duluth), serving baked goods, coffee drinks and savory items, including a ham-bacon quiche.
2632 W. 3rd St., Duluth, duluthsbestbread.com.
Fitger’s Brewhouse
The 23-year-old brewpub that arguably launched the city’s craft beer obsession continues to focus on the small-batch ales and lagers that forged its reputation. The beer-battered onion rings and wild rice veggie burgers are as tasty as ever.
600 E. Superior St., Duluth, 1-218-279-2739, fitgersbrewhouse.com
Great Lakes Candy Kitchen
Hit the shoreline-hugging highway out of Duluth for the scenery, and this sweet-tooth gem. The caramel apples — and the chocolate-dipped Nutty Ice Cream Bars, finished with roasted peanuts and toasted coconut — are worth the trip.
223 Scenic Dr., Knife River, Minn., 1-218-834-2121, greatlakescandy.com
Hoops Brewing Co.
Longtime Fitger’s Brewhouse brewer Dave Hoops has become his own boss, building a beauty of a brewery in a historic, timber-lined industrial warehouse (an infinitely better use than the previous tenant, a chain steakhouse). The taproom’s copper-topped bar is an ideal showcase for Hoops’ meticulously brewed ales, creamy porters and refreshing pilsners.
325 S. Lake Av., Duluth, 1-218-606-1666, hoopsbrewing.com
Lake Avenue Restaurant & Bar
A reason to dine in Canal Park, this charmer emphasizes creative, vibrant cooking at lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. The bar showcases Midwestern spirits. Happy hour (3 to 6 p.m. weekdays) is full of delicious $13-and-under options.
394 S. Lake Av., Duluth, 1-218-722-2355, lakeaveduluth.com
Pizza Lucé
The pizza — and weekend brunch — is the same as the Twin Cities Lucé locations. Ditto the (rare, for Duluth) late-night hours, which run to 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 2:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
11 E. Superior St., Duluth, 1-218-727-7400, pizzaluce.com
PortLand Malt Shoppe
Housed in a 1921 gas station, this may be the most adorable walk-up scoop shop in the land, serving cones, sundaes, malts, shakes and floats. Conveniently located next to a Lakewalk staircase.
716 E. Superior St., portlandmaltshoppe.com
Positively 3rd Street Bakery
This funky Hillside landmark has been making people happy for 35 years (including those following vegan and gluten-free diets), with a tempting selection of breads, granola, cookies, bars and muffins. Ice cream sandwiches are a must.
1202 E. 3rd St., Duluth, 1-218-724-8619, 3rdstbakery.com
Russ Kendall’s Smokehouse
A 110-year-old North Shore tradition, and the place to pack the cooler with pickled herring, sugar-cured smoked lake trout and smoked whitefish.
149 Scenic Dr., Knife River, Minn., 1-218-834-5995
Va Bene Berarducci’s Caffe
Yes, the screen porch is a terrific gaze-at-the-lake perch. But owners Mary Kay and Jim Berarducci run a pleasing, pasta- and panini-focused kitchen and stock their gelato case with a dozen housemade flavors.
734 E. Superior St., Duluth, 1-218-722-1518, vabenecaffe.com
Whole Foods Co-op
Anyone looking to picnic in the Zenith City would do well to consider the stores’ well-stocked delis and cheese cases as one-stop picnic-basket destinations. Dessert is a no-brainer: output from that classic North Shore pie maker, the Rustic Inn Cafe in Castle Danger, Minn.
610 E. 4th St. and 4426 Grand Av., Duluth, 1-218-728-0884, wholefoods.coop. Open 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
Zeitgeist Cafe
Downtown’s continuing renaissance owes a debt to this arts complex, which includes this stylish and lively restaurant and bar, serving lunch, dinner and a terrific weekend brunch.

Me too but developed a horrible heat rash at that Bloomsberg Rally. It took a long time to recover from that!
I am enjoying the comfortable temperatures here in Seattle with my badly sprained ankle.
Not looking forward to the 2019 Rally.

Early June should be pretty nice in Tenn.
Is there a new map of the three zones?
Should be here:

They changed the zones just to defeat the groundswell for Fargo for 2019. Otherwise it was preordained as a foregone conclusion that Fargo was the "place to be" on '19. The only way they could avoid it was to change the zones. A cheap trick, no? Indeed. So now all we can do is wait for the inevitable: Fargo in 2020 or 2021.
Tennessee 2019
Met some very nice Tennessee folk at their booth in exhibition building and later in the beer garden, they seemed to be very happy to have us coming to Tennessee next year, not just good economics for the fairground but we like you people and are looking forward to meeting more of you.
